Does anyone here know of any Atari 400/800 emulator(s) for PCs?

After I showed my boss the Apple II emulator, he said he'd fire me if I didn't
get him an Atari emulator... :-)

Two ways:

1) get Gemulator (the Atari ST emulator for the PC) then run ST Xformer
   (the Atari 400/800 emulator for the ST) on it. Essentially running
   an emulator on top of an emulator. Not recommended because it ends up
   running very slow and Gemulator doesn't fully support it. But you
   could try.

2) I'm working on a PC version of Xformer hopefully to be ready in about
   6 months. I demoed it at a few Atari shows in 1991 but it didn't
   receive much interest (8-bitter don't buy PCs???) so it's been a
   pretty low priority project. The speed figures I get now are about
   500% the speed of an Atari 400/800 on a 486/33.

What kind of stuff are you looking to run on it besides the obvious
case of disk based games?
